Selected to offer an honors-specific special topics course 2019 – present

Course Name: Carrots and Sticks: Understanding the Science behind Motivation.

Description: The word “motivation” is one of the most commonly touted terms in the world of work and academics. We use it quite frequently when attempting to explain why people might excel at some things and struggle with other things. But, what do we really know about motivation? Often times we hear people use the terms intrinsic and extrinsic when attempting to describe one’s motivational orientations, but what do those terms truly mean? Is one inherently better than the other? Can one be both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated at the same time? Through an experientially-based lens, this course will explore the theoretical frameworks behind the science of motivation in an attempt to prepare learners to better understand how to monitor and manage one’s own motivation, as well as the motivation of others.
